Manila International Auto Show 2012

Coming this March 29 to April 01 at the World Trade Center, the 8th Manila International Auto Show will once again bring you the best cars the automotive industry has to offer. With an entrance fee of only P100, you get access to brand new cars, concept cars, tricked out rides, auto parts, accessories, electronics, gadgets and OEM supplies.

What’s exciting about the Manila International Auto Show 2012 is the launch of several models that have been talked about for the past couple of months. With Hyundai, we are expecting to see India-made Eon, a 5-door hatch with an 800cc engine which I assume will directly compete with the Suzuki Alto K10. Another one in Hyundai’s corner is Veloster. It’s a 3-door hatch/sports coupe with a 1.6L engine and a 6-speed transmission, and the looks… absolutely amazing!

Confirming its launch at the Manila International Auto Show 2012, is the all new Ford Ranger. I heard they will have an off-road track setup to show-off its new muscle. But speaking of muscle, the question that everybody keeps on asking is, will Ford finally bring the Mustang to Philippines shore? That we will soon find out.

Adding a new member to the Subaru lineup is their crossover SUV, the Subaru XV. Chevrolet might be there to present their new 7-seater Chevy Orlando and possibly (I repeat, possibly) the Chevy Cruze Hatchback.

And I do hope the Lamborghini Aventador will make an appearance, that would be Something to Look 4ward to.
